[quote=Anonymous]My son is an Abbey high schooler but I honestly don’t know enough about the college universe (yet) to know if the schools the Abbey boys get into are super elite or not. They look good to me (Chicago, Cornell for the top tier of students etc) but the point is that that isn’t my priority for picking a high school. Indeed, my impression is that if the colleges Abbey boys go to are not as amazing as other privates, it’s not even necessarily a question of money. Abbey parents are just not the “brand name”/ ivy or bust types. Otherwise they’d also be Sidwell/GDS/St Albans or bust. We  never even looked at those schools for our son even though we have a girl at a top area girls private so we know that world well, and could afford another.  We didn’t want the pressure cooker environment for our son nor for us. We just wanted a low key school that provides the intellectual challenge he needs. We trust that if he continues to be committed and hard working his college options will work out fine and without as much anxiety as in some other schools. [/quote]
